Looking for a ray of hope in the market? Recent trends could suggest a V-shCOVID FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Across the country, some states are making moves to turn on the lights and proclaim, “We are open for business!” even though much uncertainty remains about COVID-19 and its ongoing effect on the nation’s health and economy. Recent reports suggest that though Coronavirus cases are declining in hot spots like New York, they are on the rise in other parts of the country.
However, Wall Street investors don’t seem to be particularly concerned about how it will all shake out in the coming weeks, months, and years to come. Perhaps this is because the market cares more about the duration of any financial event than the depth.
Based on the past couple of weeks, some expect we will see a quick V-shaped market recovery. The initial cascade of selling seems to be over and those who wanted out are out. Now the market appears to be attracting discount buyers.

In the COVID-19 environment, one thing is absolutely certain: “business as usual” is gone. When organizations reopen and employees return to worksites, they are stepping into a new reality.
How can companies find stable footing in a changed environment?
There are five fundamental areas leaders need to assess as they transition out of emergency operations and into the new normal:
Before the global health emergency, strategy development was an annual type of activity, focused on developing one-, three- or five-year goals. COVID-19 changed how far and how long we can plan into the future. Now, leaders need to be able to strategize and adapt in near-real time, making strategic planning a more fluid and frequent occurrence.
In this environment, strategies are only relevant within 30-, 60- or 90-day timeframes — and even those require flexibility. Tactical plans need to be developed quickly; and execution and accountability should be measured weekly or even daily.
Leaders need to figure out which metrics are most important (or even relevant) in this new environment. The right metrics will help companies identify the right operational levers to pull.
The board of directors will continue to have governance and oversight over strategy, but day-to-day leaders should take charge. The boots-on-the-ground view is more meaningful and responsive in times of constant change. To keep the board apprised, the cadence of meetings or amount of information exchanged may increase to match the new pace of business.
Aon has completed a series of pulse surveys over the past 6 weeks surveying companies on how they are reacting/responding to COVID-19. FEI members can find the results of our first 3 surveys by going to the following link and entering their information: https://rewards.aon.com/en-us/sites/reports/covid-19-pulse-survey-3
